Re: VIVE Tracker

We've seen this happen a few times at events where we have multiple controllers and trackers around. It's frustrating! Have you got your controllers paired at the same time, @Apeside, or are you just trying to pair 3 Trackers?

I'm afraid I don't have a definitive fix on this - it's usually mostly trial-and-error. As far as I can tell the error happens when one controller is 'remembered' and placed into one of your controller slots. In your case, you may have a tracker and/or a controller in that slot. What's confusing is that the controller that's occupying that slot may not even be powered on.

What we've done previously to solve it - this with controllers, but they're the same tech as the trackers - is find the controller that's paired by checking all the nearby controllers and powering them on, then seeing if they pair. When we track that down, we reset the controller. Here's procedure for that via Steam:

Hold down the trigger, menu button, trackpad button, AND grip buttons on the controller (everything except the system button)

While holding the buttons, plug your controller into your computer with a micro USB cable (you may need an extra hand to do this)

Wait for five seconds, then release the buttons

Ignore the new storage device that appears and unplug the micro USB cord to reset

That's correct, use a dongle for each tracker - you can think of the controllers the same way, only that their "dongles" are inside the headset. And that's why you should take care of having the controllers paired (and even connected) first to avoid a tracker inadvertently pairing with the headset which is reservered for the controllers.
